LineWorks RM

Recipe management system

Provide the overall and clear evidence of entire manufacturing processes for Industry 4.0

The apex solution for your organization’s recipe management needs: Dramatic productivity improvements are the common denominator of LineWorks RM functionality.

LineWorks RM is a significantly advanced recipe management system developed specifically for process-oriented industries that require the ability to optimize the real-time handling of recipes within high volume production environments.

Production process standards, such as ISA88 or SEMI, continue to evolve in scope, reflecting the increasing complexity and structures of recipes. To meet the current and future commercial application of recipe needs, traditional recipe management system design for recipes resembles a structure of monolithic black boxes, neither dynamic nor efficient.

LineWorks RM is the next generation product for recipe management systems that transcends the state of black box technology by eliminating the dependence on physical files stored on equipment. With full confidence, you can have the ability to meet your current and unforeseen future recipe needs, of course, dynamically and efficiently. With LineWorks RM you will realize robust online control, transparency and traceability to any level of adjustment parameters within each recipe. Each object of a recipe structure can have its own life cycle management, template-based recipes, versioning, approval management and recipe transfer without losing reference and traceability to the embedded context for each manufacturing execution. Furthermore, it does not matter if a recipe has been assigned to Production, Process Engineering or Research & Development (R&D), your organization will realize the same uncompromised level of security and control, including Intellectual Property (IP) protection for all product definitions.

Upgrade now to LineWorks RM Release 6.2

LineWorks RM version 6.2 introduces advanced features in the area of parameters and recipe body management, recipe object visualization, and validation, as well as improvements of the user interface.

With the newly introduced parameter tags and options, you can classify parameters based on their usage. Additionally, it is possible to store parameter options at parameter level. These options are name-value pairs (additional data) stored per parameter. It encapsulates user-defined flags / options that are further interpreted by your euqipment integration.

Customer specific validation rules can be defined in the recipe object validators. Via the recipe object templates it is possible to enable the validations in a controlled manner. This ensures a gradual deployment of the new validations.

The new version offers a flexible and consistent user interface to setup the custom recipe object and recipe body visualizations.

You will benefit from the single sign-on capabilities of the improved user interface.

The administration of the users and notifications are consolidated into a unified web-based user interface (WebUI).

Recipe Management as challenge

A recipe is the necessary set of information that uniquely indentifies the production requirements for each specific product. Recipes, by existing convention, are stored and maintained as physical files directly on vendor equipment. These files are comprised of an extensive compilation of detailed equipment adjustment parameters that defines each recipe’s content, which in turn are tailored to an individual equipment type that is composed of deeply-nested custom structures. Each equipment vendor generally specifies a proprietary syntax and convention for users to interpret and perform edit functions.

Given the large number of diversified equipment types required for various manufacturing operations, the task of organizing and establishing a voluminous number of recipes can be daunting. In manufacturing context, this presents the ultimate operation challenge: to create, modify, document, manage and protect product definitions.

RM User Group Meeting 2015

On November 3, 2015, the Recipe Management User Group Meeting 2015 (RM UGM 2015) was held in Crolles, France. This full-day event was free of charge. Experts from the industry presented concrete applications and use-cases. In addition, the attendees were able to learn about current and new features of LineWorks RM of versions 5 and 6 and to exchange ideas. All attendees had the opportunity to participate in a round of voting to prioritize future product enhancements according to their expectations.

For the RM UGM 2015, STMicroelectronics was so kind to host the event on its site in Crolles. Finally, all participants were invited to visit the production of the company Soitec. On behalf of all participants, a thank you for hosting and guiding!
